“Ruddock was the only person in the party held accountable for the failures that had almost removed Abbott and Credlin after less than eighteen months in office. According to Queensland MP Andrew Laming, ‘It was like the farmer shooting the sheep dog because he left the gate open and the sheep ran out.”
Aaron Patrick, Credlin & Co.: How the Abbott Government Destroyed Itself

“The scheme was a fascinating mix of traditionalism, elitism, feminism and socialism.”
Aaron Patrick, Credlin & Co.: How the Abbott Government Destroyed Itself

“Dupont had a long history of analysing Australia’s position in the world. He was also a pioneer in the study of links between climate change and international security, an area that few defence experts had explored. In 2006 he asserted in an article, written with Graeme Pearman, that the security implications of climate change had been largely ignored by public policy experts, academics and journalists. ‘Climate change is fast emerging as the security issue of the 21st century,’ he wrote, ‘overshadowing terrorism and even the spread of weapons of mass destruction as the threat most likely to cause mega-death and contribute to state failure, forced population movements, food and water scarcity and the spread of infectious diseases.”

“In the court of global public opinion, and in the annals of environmental history, Captain Watson will be a champion long after the last Japanese factory ship finds its resting place in the museum of selfish disregard for the living Earth upon which we all depend.”
Robert James Brown, Optimism: Reflections on a Life of Action

Bob     Brown
“when 1500 scientists, including 100 Nobel Laureates, petitioned the world in 1995 that serious remedies were required to halt the destruction of the living fabric of the Earth, their warning was ignored. Had it been 1500 economists warning of a stock market crash it would have got banner headlines and emergency government action.”
Robert James Brown, Optimism: Reflections on a Life of Action
